This article examines the concept of love. Over the course of history it has been artists, poets and playwrights who have made the greatest progress in humanity's understanding of love. All relationships, whether they are those of parents with their children, spouses with their partners, or workers with their colleagues, rely on an ability to create and maintain social ties. In 2000, Andreas Bartels and Semir Zeki of University College, London, located the areas of the brain activated by romantic love. They took students who said they were madly in love, put them into a brain scanner, and looked at their patterns of brain activity. As Larry Young, a researcher into social attachment at Emory University, in Atlanta, Georgia, explains, the brain has a reward system designed to make voles (and people and other animals) do what they ought to. However, another vole, a close relative called the montane vole, has no interest in partnership beyond one-night-stand sex.

The articles discusses research on prairie voles. A new molecules-to-behavior analysis links particularly dutiful fatherhood in these hamster-size rodents to a stretch of DNA that scientists once dismissed as meaningless junk. Earlier research tied the prairie vole's paternal devotion to a long stretch of repeated DNA snippets near a gene linked to detecting the hormone vasopressin. This hormone affects family behavior in voles. Meadow voles come up short in this snippet count. Now, Elizabeth Hammock and Larry Young of Emory University's Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Atlanta report on snippet variations within the prairie vole species itself.
